Where Business Comes To Life!
1
Winston-Salem is a city of progress. From its origins as an early Moravian
settlement nearly 250 years ago and the merger of the towns of Winston
and Salem over 100 years ago, the community has grown to be a center for
business and technology in North Carolina and the Southeast.
Winston-Salem is a primary city of North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad Region—
a 12-county area of more than 1.6 million people—representing a significant
market and labor resource.
Located in Forsyth County, Winston-Salem has long had a well-established
industrial base, contributing significantly to North Carolina’s role as a leader in
new manufacturing locations. As in many areas of the country, Winston-Salem
has seen rapid expansion in the service sector, with financial institutions and
health care leading the way.
Now in the 21st century, Winston-Salem continues to build on its past by
preparing for the future needs of the new economy and growth industries
such as life science and biotechnology, logistics, advanced manufacturing,
data management and finance.

A wide selection of available sites and facilities for
administrative and manufacturing operations exist in
Winston-Salem, Forsyth County.

Wake Forest Innovation Quarter (formerly known as
Piedmont Triad Research Park), located in downtown
Winston-Salem, offers an outstanding location
for businesses in life science, biotechnology and
information technology. The 240-acre urban campus is
a combination of university-based medical research and
private enterprise. Home to the Wake Forest Institute
for Regenerative Medicine and the Piedmont Triad
office of the North Carolina Biotechnology Center,
Wake Forest Innovation Quarter offers a variety of
current and future business tenants—such as Inmar,
Clean Blue Technologies and AsInEx—with a strategic
location among a number of existing facilities or
build-to-suit opportunities. The Innovation Quarter
includes Wake Forest Biotech Place, a state-of-the-art
multipurpose biotechnology research and innovation
center developed by the Wexford Group. Wexford
partnered with Wake Forest Baptist Health to carefully
restore and retrofit the facility in only 18 months and
has since transformed three more former manufacturing
and warehouse buildings into amenity-rich, innovative
environments.
Innovation Quarter offers Class A offices and
laboratories, a design center, a conference center, an
atrium entertainment center in Wake Forest Biotech
Place, future retail and entertainment space,
Bailey Park, a rails-to-trails linear park and a lake.
Overall, there are about 145 developable acres and
55 acres of green space.
Winston-Salem has a rich history in financial services
with the headquarters of BB&T and divisions of Wells
Fargo, GMAC Insurance, Aon Consulting, among others.
Companies desiring Class A office space will find that
downtown Winston-Salem offers world-class facilities at
a fraction of the cost compared to most major markets
across the country.
Forsyth County has over 4 million square feet of
available office and industrial space, providing a
range of options suitable for nearly any operation.
Available sites include the massive 220-acre Whittaker
Park manufacturing complex available just north of
Downtown Winston-Salem and close to Wake Forest
University. The cost of land in the Winston-Salem area
is generally less than comparable sites in many other
cities, and construction costs are significantly below
the national average. The Forsyth County area has a
number of experienced architectural and construction
companies to work with firms wanting to build.
Winston-Salem Business Inc. (WSBI) has an active role
in identifying and developing real estate for businesses
interested in expanding or relocating in the area. The
staff at WSBI possesses in-depth knowledge of area
sites, allowing the team to provide a higher level of
assistance in selecting a suitable location, including
details about Union Cross Business Park, Center 311,
and a new, certified 99.4-acre site.
